<< < (2/5) > >>

Nahum:
i have a question.  pardon me for my ignorance, but, what is the JTF position on Bnei Elim and why? 

MasterWolf1:
Hello Chaim,

My thoughts and question is that you mention to me and the rest of the gentiles that the U.S. is for the gentiles and I agree fully and that to have a right wing movement in the U.S. is very vital for America's survival.  However I been for years screaming this to many Americans who claim to be right wing but when I mention many issues that JTF brings up then they refer to me as either an extremist facist, a  racist, how in the world can myself and many like me as hard as we work to try to help lead this nation in the path our founding fathers intended when there are a lot of stubborn people out there who simply don't get it even those that claim to be right wing in their own mind.  Now I would never give up this fight myself but it feels like at time you are talking to a brick wall with these people.  How and what other methods you think is possible to use on these people?  Now I have managed to tell people successfully below the Bible belt states out in the heart of America states and many are coming within and seeing some light but they too are still too afraid.  Can you give advice or suggestions of what else can be done?

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Dear Chaim,
thank you for your answers and time.
 My question this week for you is- why do you refer to JTF as being the "true zionists" and why is zionism an admirable thing? I am not Haredi nor do I oppose settling and concurring the Land of Israel, but after thinking long about this my opinion is that the problems today that Am Yisrael faces is becuase of zionism and expecially its heretical leaders. I also dont understand why people like jabotinsky are admirable ( you mentioned him being a "great leader".) from what I heard He and actually most/many of the origional zionists were anti-judaism. He hated religious Jews, etc.  wouldnt it be better to just say we represent Judaism and what the Torah says and not have any new ideas and movements.
 I believe in one and only 1 ism and thats True Torah-Judaism from Hash-m to His people on Mt. Sinai.

also one more thing- would it be possible to have a special JTF program (shiur) before every holiday, and you teaching lessons for the holiday ( the next one Hannukah isnt comming for a while, thought) and even maybe something even better- permitting you have the time- maybe a Shiur for each parsha (weekly) it doesnt even have to be 2 hours like the ask JTF - maybe you can give shiurim for at least 30 minutes or more (however you would like it). - I think it would be awsome if we taught and learned more Torah , and bring the real Torah approach to the problems and to the movement. + on top of that it would give JTF credibility and attract, many people of the Yeshiva world who will see that we are giving a Torah solution to events, etc.

When did Rabbi Kahane write for the Jewish Press?  As a kid I remember my parents got the Jewish Press. I think it was the early to mid 80’s (maybe the late 1970’s too) and I never remember reading any articles from Rabbi Kahane.

As part of this question what do you think of the Jewish Press in general? Were they started because of the agunah issue. What do you think of the agunah(a chained women) issue in general? I think in general (there are exceptions) Jewish women wanted no fault divorce like gentiles and wanted to get divorced not because their husbands were abusive but because they wanted to do as they please . I find it immoral that women can divorce men without fault and then collect alimony and child support from these men and hope to g-d this law changes and some have spoken out against it. The Jewish Press now supports an organization that supports women that are raising children without fathers. It does not seem to care whether this is due to the husband walking out or the women forcing the man to write a get against his will and making false abuse charges. The Jewish Press once had defined a man "emotionally abusive" when a man was upset that he was going to be put in a hospital because he could not care for himself. Is that not being cruel to the kind. I find the Jewish Press extremely anti-male.  I have been a victim of the feminist movement in many area’s of my life so am very concerned about it . I feel some Jewish women can’t respect an intelligent man. Everything has to be done by a women’s group or women and they don’t even respect the fact that some of these men have women and children that are heroic in their own right (and have large families) but because the man is the most visible they don’t respect the people despite all they have done but respect a woman that has done far less. .  I think feminism is a very bad problem in Orthodox circles today. Is it a problem in Israel too among the observant?

americankahanist:
Since you cant get into Israel, why don't you or David or Jimmy, run for office here?   If David became president, you could be the ambassador to Israel and then they couldnt keep you out--or could they??  At the very least, it would end the pressure on Israel to commit suicide.
